Jimmy Kimmel is returning to ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' after a nearly week-long suspension due to controversial comments regarding the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel's remarks, which criticized President Donald Trump and his supporters, led to significant backlash, prompting major television station groups like Sinclair and Nexstar to pull his show from their schedules. The controversy has ignited a debate over freedom of speech and resulted in threats of federal regulatory action. Kimmel's return is scheduled for Tuesday night, where he is expected to address the events surrounding his suspension. Viewers in major markets will be able to watch the show, while some areas will see local news programming instead. Upcoming guests include Glen Powell and Sarah McLachlan, with Kimmel's opening monologue anticipated to touch on the recent backlash.
